Bubbles bubbles and more bubbles!

The Kindergarten students have been working really hard on learning their songs for the Ocean of Fun concert in May!

We have learned so many interesting facts about animals that live in the sea! The kids are always amazed by some of them especially finding out that jellyfish do not have brains. As one student stated, "So they aren't smart right?" Those comments make my job so much fun!

The Carnival of Animals is a musical suite of fourteen movements. One of the movements the composer Camille Saint-Seans wrote is called Aquarium. It is a beautiful piece you can listen to it here

The students were split up into two groups. One - the bubble blowers and the other second group- the fish puppets. Students were asked to blow bubbles to make it feel like we were down in the ocean while the puppet fish people were swimming around the classroom to the music. Then of course we had to switch roles or it would not be fair at all!

 

CONCERTS GALORE!

Students at Century Park Learning Center, Cummings Elementary, and South Elementary will be participating in a music concert at the end of the year! The students are preparing and having a lot of fun singing and learning their songs! We can't wait to perform them on the stage at the

YEE HAW!

This week in first grade the students have been working to correctly use their, "head voice". We practice many different ways by acting like sirens, roller coasters, airplanes, animals and even acting like cowboys and cowgirls.

The students heard a story about Cowboy Joe who likes to use his cowboy call! The students had to listen to the story and every time they heard, "Cowboy call" they had to let out a, "Yee HAW!" I bet you can guess they all did a fabulous job!

The next activity I brought out my noodle horses and the students got to ride the horses around the classroom when the music was playing. When the music stopped they had to freeze and let out their best "Cowboy call".

Do you think this first grader was having fun??

Smiling faces for the camera

Thanks Mrs. King for the fabulous idea of the noodle horses! Mrskingrocks.blogspot.com
